The Kan-Ed website is a fantastic resource for teachers and students. I remember using it in my high school, but I never knew how many wonderful tools were on this website. As a high school student I only used the library resources from this site, now as a future educator I see a plethora of resources on this site. I am only going to discuss a few due to the fact that this could become a very long blog post if I did not shorten the list. The first, and my favorite tool, is the online tutoring service provided by Kan-Ed. This is simply amazing because many students have questions on their homework at home and many parents are not able to help their children. The children also might be shy to ask their questions in class, but asking these questions in the privacy of their own home is more comfortable. Besides these reasons it is excellent because it allows the students who have been sick to make up their work in a less rushed manner. The other resource I really like was the Thinkfinity resource from Verison. This source has thousands of worksheets that are very easy to find, review, and use for the classroom. These worksheets also vary in activities and plans so it adds a variety to your lesson plans. I will be utilizing this tool in my classroom several times. All in all I really liked the site. I love that the website format is easy to change and that students can also use it. To me it is a very great website for both teachers and students.
